One week has passed since the 2014 Australian Open Finals and I’ve found the time only now to say how much I enjoyed the Women’s final. It has been a match between two unusual opponents but it has been a nice game to watch. I had the chance to know better two very interesting players and they both really inspired me and my tennis:

Last summer I bought some Japanese Chirimen Kimono cord at StinkyDogBeads on Etsy, and I made a copy of a Ginki bracelet. But that wasn’t the only piece of Chirimen Kimono cord I bought. I actually bought a bigger one and I’ve been struggling ever since to find a proper cone, big enough, to finish it. In the end I succeeded in finding something suitable and here is the final result….I also added a little silver bell.

Here is a scarf I made for Paola as Christmas gift. I used the same wool as the one for her daughter Marta’s, so to have a mother-daughter matching scarves. 🙂 Because of all its spirals it reminds me of a snake! It took me quite a while to crochet and the result is a bit funny.

Here are some Xmas gifts I made for my friends’ children…. I got the tutorial for these little “monsters” from the brilliant REVOLUZZZA blog here, and, with some minor changes I made three of them…. my old sewing machine has some problems with narrow zigzag stitches, so I avoided the mouth, but the result is quite nice anyway. Or at least I’ve been told so….
